After watching the episode of the singing talent show on Saturday, Tendulkar took to Twitter to express his views about Tsering. “This guy is special. He is amazingly positive despite his challenges. Truly inspiring… More power to you #ThuptenTsering #IndianIdol,” Tendulkar tweeted with screen grabs of the contestant for qualifying for the next round.

Tsering hands had to be amputated after he accidentally touched a high-voltage electric wire while playing with friends when he was just five. However, despite losing his hands, Tsering did not suffer in silence. He learnt to do things his way and leads an independent life successfully.

From cooking to writing to driving a car or peddling a bicycle, Tsering manages to do everything. As Tsering narrated his story, one of the judges, Sonu Nigam, could not help but marvel the determination of the boy.
